#152: Triangular Snake
26 July 2024
In the GAPP (Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzle) series on the CtC Discord server, we have a bit of a tradition called Strange-Shaped Sunday where we tend to post puzzles on non-square grids. For a recent Sunday puzzle, I stumbled upon the idea of trying out Snake on a triangular grid and it worked out so well that I decided to make a few more puzzles for this ruleset.
#151: Territory Park
17 July 2024
A while ago, fellow puzzler dohz and I made a pair of puzzles, each exploring differing interpretations of a hybrid between Statue Park and Territory (that is, Naoki Inaba’s Territory, since many genres share that name). You can find dohz’s puzzle on Cohost, and mine can be seen below.

This puzzle was constructed in collaboration with Wessel Strijkstra by passing the puzzle back and forth, adding one clue at a time.

#148: Santa's "Not The Witness" Set
6 July 2024
Ah yes, summer. Time to share another Secret Santa gift I made. This year, my santee was Zimodo and pretty much all I knew about them was that they’re active in the Witness community.

Here is a variant of Meandering Words that’s been on my to-do list for quite a while. Of course, it involves a loop.

This was the second puzzle I made for Logic Showcase 53, “The Outsiders”. This and the next puzzle were tied for second place (coming in only 0.01 points behind the winner).
